Greenlawn Park Playground Renovation Underway

GREENLAWN, NY — Renovations are underway at Greenlawn Park, Supervisor Chad Lupinacci announced. The planned improvements are expected to be done by Labor Day on Sept. 6.

"We are excited to see these playground improvements realized at Greenlawn Park, one of our most popular regional parks, which will provide a complement to its popular skate park and athletic fields," Lupinacci said.

His administration and the Greenlawn Civic Association have worked together to develop plans for the new playground.

The park is at the corner of Pulaski Road and Broadway-Greenlawn Road in Greenlawn. It will be closed starting Thursday.

Planned improvements include:

• New playground equipment
• A new concrete walkway
• A new picnic area with a gazebo
• New landscape plantings
• New fences – perimeter and interior
• Solar cell phone and table charging stations.

The work is expected to cost roughly $468,000 overall.

Representatives of the Greenlawn Civic Association requested the playground improvements, working with Town of Huntington staff in the departments of engineering; parks and recreation; and planning and environment as well as the Town's EOSPA Committee to develop a playground plan that reflects the community's needs.

The Town Board designated up to $525,000 in EOSPA-recommended Environmental Open Space and Park Improvement Funding for the project in January 2020.

The project was bid in January 2021. The town received 12 bids, and the town board awarded the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Greenlawn-based Turf Tek USA, in February.
